It's working great for me.

I generally prefer OpenAI. I usually start projects with Codex; I love the plan we created. Then, after about 2 hours of working, back and forth, etc.I realize it's drifting HARD, or getting stuck on relatively simple things.

Once I get frustrated enough, I sometimes start over with Anthropic. Anthropic has been better (for me at least) to work with from start to finish.

I have the $200/month plan for each of them. (And I used to have the $250/month plan for Gemini... lol?)

Both Fable and Sol are good and definite improvements. I don't have a favorite yet. It's too early to tell.

The biggest difference I'm noticing is usage.

Anthropic is like a used car salesman. Not allowed to do a basic check on your own car (website), they'll scrape every penny possible out of you. Low limits, high api prices, trying to keep everything in their system.

OpenAI is like a cool but aloof dad. Go ahead and borrow his car, shoot, he'll even pay for your gas every once in a while. He'll answer your 5th question drunk, forgetting what you asked. But, at least he's a nice drinker that buys the group shots.

I have to watch my Fable usage, and I'm sure as hell not going to pay API prices. I don't have to watch/worry about my Sol usage even in Ultra.

But, 1 thing I'm noticing using Sol Ultra (on fast mode) is that it's slowing WAY down after a bit. I work the opposite of peak times so that's not it.

Grok 4.5 14 days ago

There was a study done a week or 2 ago. Grok was surprisingly THE most neutral. Like close to 50/50 neutral.

That's even more ridiculous.

The people in your scenario that are most at risk are roaming the same area freely, so the solution is to ban the least at risk people?

The same people who are the least likely to follow the prohibition?

If you want to protect the most at-risk people and the only way to do it is to divide the high-risk & low-risk the far more logical route would to ban the high-risk people.

What's the point though? There were 2 options. Pay the equivalent of $10 USD or dig graves. AKA make poor people dig graves.

Plus, the article says it was only 8 people which won't have any actual impact.

I can't imagine any rational person thinking this would be effective. "Oh, I'm digging a grave for someone who has lived 3x more than me." If that were successful nobody would smoke, drink, eat bad food.
